One for the money, two for the show, three for the bike path.

The Q-Tubes Road Bike Tube isn't expensive but it is pretty necessary, so it's always a good idea to have two or three around, just in case. Keep 'em wherever, and rest assured that their durable design and reliable Presta valve will lock in the air, at least until you run over another broken bottle.

Great tubes

These tubes did the job. Priced right. I bought 2. Fixed my flat and kept the other for the saddle bag. Only thing is I bought the tall valve stem by accident. I will definitely go with the short next time.

This just in: Still a tube

Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer

I use these tubes pretty regularly. That's not necessarily a good thing. If The price is "right", however I have noticed better puncture resistance and valve-to-tube seam reliability with the Continental Race tube and Race light tubes. I have started using the Q-Tubes as my spares and investing in higher quality units for primary duty.

Good tubes

Familiarity: I've used it several times

Not a whole lot to say about these, they seem to be durable and hold air well. No flats yet about a month in riding some fairly rough roads. 60mm valve stem clears my super hip 42mm rims well allowing easy inflation without being overly long.

Doesn't Get Any Better

Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer

I love these tubes, that being said i don't really know much different, have used them for a while and they are awesome. Repairing them is easy and continues to allow a good life span even after repair. Don't hesitate

Great Tube, Removable Core

Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer

There's a common mis-belief in the industry that all tubes are made in the same factory (like a auto oil filter)...I would disagree. From my experience the Q-Tubes tend to last longer than many others that I have used, maybe a little thicker maybe dumb luck but I'm going to stick with them. The removable valve core is a huge advantage as it allows for a sealant to be put in, which if you ride at all you hate getting flats so a little sealant never hurt. The other great advantage is the possibility to use a good valve extender. There are 2 types of valve extenders 1 that simply goes on the existing valve and is a hollow tube (opinion these kind suck as there are potential problems like the valve closing and air loss when filling the tube with air); 2 a version where the valve is removed from the tube, replaced by the extender and valve re-installed on the extender (these kind kick a$$ and are the way to go)
